This place had been on the top of my list that ive been wanting to try for a long time. Finally glad I got around to trying it cause it did not disappoint. Really good quality meat, and the fries are really good too. Definitely coming back

Slow fast food? More like full-speed flavor. The Oinkster absolutely hit my cravings out of the park — my pulled pork sandwich was juicy, tender, and Carolina-sauced perfection, and my partner’s grilled chicken sandwich packed big-time flavor from top to bottom. The fries? Two types of crispiness: classic Belgian beauties and over-the-top piggy fries smothered in cheese, onions, and creamy sauce — both dipped in their addictive house ketchup. Everything just delivered exactly what it promised — no frills, all flavor. One bite in and you’ll know this is Eagle Rock comfort food done

I’m giving it 3 stars because the pastrami sandwich I had there was disappointingly average. We were one of the first customers after it opened, and I wonder if I got pastrami from the day before?
The service was good, and the vibe was nicely casual. If I go back, I’ll try one of their burgers.

What you want in a pastrami is ribbons of fat and a good with the grain cut. That way you get nice strong tendons to catch in your teeth as entirely strips of pastrami get pulled out of the sandwich into your lap since pastrami cut with the grain has some real strength – like a good belt! $20 for the most unique with the grain high fat pastrami cut.

The Oinkster is ultimately so swine! Stopped in for shakes and saw the various sandwiches, beer and wine available. Impressed by the staff and quality of ingredients and taste. The Ube shakes are hands down our favorite and are large enough to split. The Oinkster pastrami sandwich is deliciously smoked and seasoned to perfection. To say it’s large is an understatement and can split to satiate the pickiest of carnivores. Overheard kids raving about the burger and fries so I’ll have to save that for another trip to LA.

Overall a really tasty cheat meal option in Eagle Rock. They have been open for many years and have served many hungry diners. They specialize in pastrami, but also have burgers, shakes, and chicken. You can dine in, but most choose to do takeout. There are about five parking spaces, otherwise it will be street parking. It’s a 4/5 for me because there are many other burger places I enjoy more, there are other deli options that I would prefer to get pastrami from, however I would definitely return to try other dishes.
Tonight we tried the Oinkster Pastrami, which was very good, although I like my pastrami a little, more seasoned and crispier. It comes on a French roll as well, and not like the usual rye or other types of bread it is typically served with. We also ordered the 1/3lb Burger and it was very good, although I would not call it a unique burger, and there are many others around LA I prefer more. We also tried the Cluckster with cheese added and that was my favorite of all the things we ordered. I would definitely go there again for that sandwich specifically. The Chili Cheese Fries are also worth ordering and we’re probably my second favorite thing that we ordered.
Overall a really great cheat meal, although each of the items we ordered have better versions from other places around LA.

Don’t know what happened but the pastrami was edible. I tried Oinkster 3 years ago. Was so good I never stopped thinking about it. This time 11/30/2025, the pastrami was dry ($20) the chili fries ($10) was small and no draft beer or wine. Just cans. I took my fam as treat. $200 down the drain. Wish I had taken them to Johnnies pastrami instead. Oh, the only thing that was as good as I remembered was the catsup. delicious. I give 2 stars for good service, plentiful free parking and location. Guy fieri should be embarrassed to have the Oinkster review in reruns.Great pastrami. Order every time I am in town

Stopped by after reading some reviews, and I’m glad we did!
Ordered the Bacon Crispinator cheeseburger, French fries, and, heck with it, a chocolate malt.
The bacon cheeseburger was fantastic! I will be going back for it next time I am anywhere nearby. Seriously, we’ll take that route when driving from NorCal to SoCal or vice-versa.
Although I did want to try the Pastrami–it looks good.
The fries were very good, as was the shake, although I would prefer a bit more malt. (Malt is an option–not a requirement.)
The atmosphere is kind of plain, old-school, Mom and pop fast food place. The A-frame building and outside seating is cool. I liked the vibe of the place.

Went for a #MotoSocial meetup and the place is still as good as I remember. The burgers and pastrami are delicious. The fries are crispy and well seasoned.
Plenty of parking and reasonable prices.

Fun, old fashioned burger spot. I had the classic and my wife got the veggie classic and they were both excellent. Top quality meat, buns and crisp veggies.
Ordered fries, drink and a side Ceasar salad
